Glad to hear you got to the bottom of things and got the paint off. What are your plans now?

Just an FYI if you ever need to do it again.

Nail polish remover is like 10% acetone, 90% filler and another 5% scent that tries to mask the acetone.

For heavy duty stuff, go get a can of it at the hardware store. Higher concentrations dry out your hands like a mofo tho, so don't do like I do and wear some gloves. Smile

LOL, and I thought I was the only dumbass that doesn't wear gloves when usin' stuff like that... Wink

Good luck, eltrut. Let us know how it goes.

lol...I'm the same way. Usually I get done a job and say..."I probably should have worn gloves for that...oh well too late now" Smile

hey takin a break. i got the old tank outta the house and the new one on the stand. good to have freinds. anyhow i got one of the Undergravel jets assembled in the tank. im stripping and cleaning canisters right now. hey where does the ammo chips go a canister filter? like at the bottom or at the top? anyone use these? i ran some thru a HOB in another tank and watched the parameters and it seemed to help a bit. sometimes i get a little behind on h20 changes and kinda like to have a extra little help. im gonna try and snap some pics of this. i shoulda started at the beggining but i was busy pullin out what hair i have left.

You should put the amo chips at the top of the canister where the carbon would normally go.

Ya moved a tank out of the house?!? This is VERY disturbing! Almost sacrilegious...more tanks = more fish. Can't let Mrs. WYite see this post. If she sees somebody can actually move a tank out of a house, she may expect the same of me. Please, eltrut, don't post such information. There could be repercussions for others... Smile

hi all. sorry its been a while since ive posted anything. the tank turned out ok well its still in transition kinda cuz i tried out the undergravel jets thing and well its a pain in the ass and powerheads are way easier. i just gotta find a way to hid them and ill be set. so i gotta take all the buried pvc out and just set the power heads up normally. the nice thing about this tank is the canopy on it. besides it being WAY more attractive i cant get my hands in the tank so i havent touched it since i set it up. so the rock work is not done yet but ill do that when i do the powerhead thing. overall i like the tank way more. i wish i wasnt such a tech idiot and could figure out how to get some pics off my kids phone on here. ill try to post some tonite when i get back home. hey wyoming moving the tank out was the only option. i have the 150 IN the kitchen and 2 55's in the living room and a grow out 20 on my wifes dresser. i think its fair. besides if i keep messing around im gonna come home and find a cat in the house. ewwwwwww. oh by the way nice article on ammonia. i gotta reread it again alot of technical stuff in there but it wa well written. ok well thanks again to everyone for there help ill try to post some pics tonight.
